"Great recipe, a lot of fun to serve! A bit difficult to make the mashed potatoes do what i wanted, but good fun anyhow! I didn't trick anyone with it tho, just had a good laugh."

"This was super fun, we had company over and they thought it was pretty clever too, I paired it with the "chicken nugget" dessert. Both were yummy"

"Made this for an April Fools dinner fundraiser at the lodge this year. Everyone said the flavor is outstanding and presentation was a lot of fun. Since I was working with a much larger quantity I didn't even try to spread the potatoes -- I wore disposable gloves and just patted handsful into place. It worked out really well. This recipe is good enough that it will probably replace my old stand-by for every day."

"This is really cleaver, but by the time you decorate and put on the finishing touches isn't it cold. How would you re-heat it?"

"This has become an April Fool's day tradition. When my daughter asked if she could lick the frosting bowl we knew it was a keeper. We now just make it because we enjoy the recipe as everyone knows the secret."

"This turned out nicely. Work quick with the mashed potatoes because as they cool they do not spread as well. I made this for the family and 2 of my daughters boyfriends. One boyfriend was very impressed! He even asked where I got the recipe. I told him Taste of Home! Thanks!"
